1941 MB Americus, GA $2000

• CATEGORIES: MB • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available. The body is newer than a ’41 and appears to have been modified a little at the tool indents. Also note the driver’s side wheel. It appears to be pushed back a little farther than normal. Thanks to Colin and Richard for spotting these issues.

This could be a slat grille. It has an early gas tank.

    This “1941” MB is not a ’41. It has a glove box which wasn’t introduced until February of 1942. True 1941 models did not have a glove box. It also appears to have a CJ or maybe an M38 grille. The owner apparently doesn’t know what he has.

    Good points. Now that you say it, those are large head light buckets. I’d say you are right about that. I just noticed the tool indents have been patched/changed/modded.

    Is it my vision that is failing or does the rear axle look like it is not centered in the wheel well, broken spring bolt maybe??

    Thank you for help Dave! Sorry I’m very new at this. One more question. I’ve read up info and I’m pretty sure that this is a war production by its looks (spark plug location/split windsheild etc) but I could be completely wrong with my info. In your opinion do you think this is a wat production or a cj with the naked eye? Or would you simply have to dig a lot deeper to determine that? (Toolbox lids serial numbers etc) again sorry for my inexperienced questions but thank you for your help!

    Thomas,

    We were all new at one point. We are all still learning. The history of these jeeps is far more complex than you’d think!

    The body, fenders, grille and drive train appear to be a Willys MB or Ford GPW (aka WWII jeeps). The gas appears to be early MB as well. The seats are from a later vehicle (not jeep that I can tell). The rims are likely from a later M-151 of some vintage. The motor is the proper style, buy I can’t tell if it is WWII or CJ.

    It looks like it will take a lot of work and $$ to get this back to a running state.

    – Dave
